510 manual batteries dying?

[Vegatron75]

I've had my 510 for about a week, Today I've noticed the led on the battery flickering on and off while in use. Has anyone else seen this?
I put 1 battery on the charger and the charger showed a green light, pulled the battery off and tried it,,nothing, put the multi-meter on it and showed no volts.
I think both of my batteries are close to being dead in 1 week, Is this normal?

absolutely not...

We had a new 801 battery die within a week and a second one go a few days later. Their chips went bad.

Thats not right.... you broked it.... I bet you done dropped it on its lil LED head... I bet your a terrible terrible PV user.... Just Kidding teehee tee hee any way no that aint right call the place ya bought em and let em know they should exchange them for you...

Dropped my 801 battery last weekend, the top even came off (can't find it, too much fun that night), but still works like a champ.

I would say that is definitely not right, you should exchange them.

I wish I could exchange them. I bought it off the classifieds here. I know they should last longer than this.
Even my 801 kit I started w/ didn't die off w/ my dripping it no less for a month or so.
First the led of 1 battery started acting funny, then I pulled the other off the charger w/ the green light on and it did nothing.
I wonder if the heat of the atomizer is having an effect on the battery.
WHo knows I really don't want to got back to my 801 but looks like I'm going to have to.

The led will do what you stated when it is about to go below the voltage limit. There appears to be a problem with the battery. I have 4 batteries I have been using for 4 months and they are just now showing signs that they are near the end of their usefulness.

When the lower voltage limit is reached the protection circuit shuts the battery down. It will read 0 volts when tested but it really still has about 2.5 volts on the battery charge. It sounds to me like the batteries are either old or defective.

the batteries are working now. All but the led on the batt that was flickering is working.
I've seen the cutoff blinking light in action, this was not that,
SO now I have one led working and other one not, but atleast both batts are useful at this point.

[a2dcovert]

That's good, I'm glad they are working at least. The blink I was talking about usually takes place just before the cut-off blinking cycle. I know it's frustrating when something doesn't work as it should.

This seems to be a constant problem I've had with Njoy since last December. Their attys go soon too. So far, maybe 8 batteries died or too hard a pull, even after charge, and about 6 attys. I don't drip often and carefully when I do.

Heard somewhere to clean the attys for a couple minutes in boiling water and another said alcohol. I tried both and now the attys don't work. Don't think this was a good way for this atty.
